the cost of dinner for a family of four was $128. They left the waiter a total of $151.04, including the tip. What percent of the bill was the tip?
Pls help me!
151.04 - 128 = 23.04
23.04 / 128 = 0.18
0.18 * 100 = 18%
thank you v.much Ms.sue!!
To find the percentage of the bill that was the tip, you will need to calculate the tip amount first. Then, divide the tip amount by the total bill and multiply by 100 to get the percentage.
Given that the total bill including the tip was $151.04 and the cost of dinner for the family of four was $128, we can find the tip amount by subtracting the cost of dinner from the total bill:
Tip amount = Total bill - Cost of dinner
Tip amount = $151.04 - $128
Tip amount = $23.04
Now, to find the percentage of the bill that was the tip, divide the tip amount by the total bill and multiply by 100:
Percentage of the bill that was the tip = (Tip amount / Total bill) * 100
Percentage of the bill that was the tip = ($23.04 / $151.04) * 100
Percentage of the bill that was the tip ≈ 15.24%
So, the tip represents approximately 15.24% of the total bill.
